Bill Stands Head and Shoulders Above Most Others, December 29, 2004
This review is from: Bill Champlin: In Concert (DVD)
Bill Champlin has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years and, after being eclipsed by lesser light pop stars, finally seems to be gaining the recognition he's deserved for so long. Hype, flashy wardrobe and heavily-publicized bizarre behavior often deflects media attention away from the efforts of humble but more talented musical artists. Chicago pulled a real coup when they recruited him but, in my opinion, Bill shines best at the helm of his own musical endeavors, either as a solo artist or fronting the Sons of Champlin. This DVD features Bill in a performance environment he seems completely at home with. The sound is good and the sidemen are exceptional. I don't think many Bill Champlin fans would be disappointed owning this DVD.

Bill fans will love this, January 24, 2005
This review is from: Bill Champlin: In Concert (DVD)
This DVD was recorded in 1993 in Germany by the looks and must've been done fairly close to the 'Chicago live at the Greek Theatre' show because I think the great man is wearing the same clothes.Gee Bill Champlin's a great singer though and this DVD sounds great and just makes for great listening.I love the man's work with 'Chicago' and I love his solo work.Any Bill Champlin fan will consider this a good buy.Oh and highly recommended to the many who are still sadly uninitiated to the fine talent and great voice of Bill Champlin
